Teknische Daten
Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand
-
Zustand technisch
The engine can be cranked, but is missing parts and has not been started during its time at the museum. See pictures. The gearing is also in unknown condition. The car has no electrical system. The chassis looks nice.
-
Zustand Interieur
In the 1970s, the interior was reupholstered. After years in the museum, it only needs to be dusted off a little. A new carpet in the back of the passenger compartment would improve the vehicle's appearance. The front floor is unprotected from the gearbox/engine compartment. A new floor mat is also required here. See image.
-
Zustand Exterieur
The bodywork is a so-called Landaulet model. These were marketed and sold by Ford under the description Town Car. The bodywork on this particular copy is Swedish-built. So it is not an American original body on the car. Even though it is over 40 years since it was prepared, it is very nice. It is at least as nice as the T-Fords were in the 1920s. Some of the tires have developed some dry cracks during storage, which can be seen upon careful inspection. See pictures. We have not tested folding down the convertible top and do not know if it’s functional.

Zustand gesamt
The goal of the renovation in the 1970s was exhibition condition. That objective still holds true. If you want to be able to drive the car, some technical finesse is required, as some parts are missing.

Fakten zum Modell
In Sweden from the late 1930s onwards, many end-of-life T-Fords were converted into power sources for threshers and sawmills. Other T-Fords were converted to EPA tractors for use on farms. The axles and wheels of the T-Ford were also used to build trailers. The T-Ford thus contributed to the mechanization and modernization of Swedish agriculture, long after it was condemned as a car. Today, several of these cars have been resurrected after many hours of work, restored by enthusiasts. During its heyday 50,000 of the T-Ford were sold on the Swedish market.
